Patrimonial planning in Italy

Patrimonial planning allows managing assets and rights strategically, preventing conflicts between heirs. For foreigners in Italy, it is important to integrate local and international rules. The assistance of a law firm experienced in international succession ensures a serene future for its clients.

Whether large or small, consolidated or developing, the patrimony of each of us is a value to be managed with care, to be grown, protected and, finally, transmitted. During every phase of life, it is essential to use adequate instruments and to have a conscious approach.

Often, however, on this topic confusion reigns, and many people fall into the error of considering patrimonial management as an issue to be addressed only in old age, linked to succession or transmission.

On the contrary, taking care of one’s patrimony is important at every moment of life: both for a young entrepreneur starting out with a start-up, and for a couple building a family or for those who have inherited a considerable sum.

Growing one’s patrimony, by saving, investing with foresight and protecting one’s assets, is fundamental, as well as planning the generational transition accurately.

Patrimonial planning is, therefore, a key word to achieve one’s objectives and ensure for oneself, for one’s family and for one’s business a serene and prosperous future. But how to address a correct patrimonial planning?

In Italy, today, there are numerous useful instruments to plan one’s patrimony, such as the various insurance and financial solutions for saving, pension and investments. However, the regulation in matters of succession and inheritance is complex and continuously changing: for this reason, it is essential to rely on a trusted advisor.

These professionals, collaborating with experts such as notaries, lawyers and accountants, can guide people in the path of patrimonial planning: from the understanding of specific needs, to the identification of problems, up to the choice of the most suitable instruments for every phase of the path.

Since laws change, judgments influence case law and individual needs can evolve, a patrimonial planning project is necessary that is constantly monitored and updated, taking into account continuously changing external factors.

By turning to Boschetti Studio Legale you will be able to address the topic of family patrimonial planning with awareness, exploring a complex world of options and instruments, each conceived to respond to specific needs.

Every family nucleus, in fact, has a patrimony with unique characteristics, and there is no universal solution. The wealth planning process is not limited to numbers and regulations: it implies an emotional involvement, linked to family dynamics, personal preferences and long-term objectives. Every decision today has the potential to deeply influence the future, both financially and in family bonds. This is why tailored planning, including transnational planning, and therefore patrimonial planning for a foreign citizen in Italy, is essential not only to manage the patrimony effectively, but also to protect family harmony and the well-being of future generations.

Donation and family pact

In the context of patrimonial planning, instruments such as donation and the family pact play central roles. Donation allows an immediate transfer of assets, both movable and immovable, from one person to another, and is a particularly useful choice in case of urgencies, such as precarious health conditions, or for those who wish to see the beneficiaries enjoy their patrimony during their lifetime. However, donation presents limits of irrevocability, which require careful analysis to avoid succession imbalances.

The family pact, instead, is a versatile and sophisticated instrument, particularly useful for those planning business succession. It allows transferring the patrimony in a structured manner, preventing potential conflicts between heirs thanks to its adaptability and to the right of withdrawal, which grants flexibility and control even over time. Furthermore, the family pact allows derogating from inheritance pacts, favouring an equitable and stable patrimonial transfer.

Trust and property planning documents

The trust is an ideal instrument for long-term patrimonial management, thanks to its exceptional flexibility. In this case, assets are entrusted to a trustee, who manages them in the interest of the designated beneficiaries, easily adapting to complex or changing scenarios.

The recent Italian regulation has modified the fiscal framework of the trust, shifting attention from the constitution to the final phase of distribution of assets, therefore requiring more accurate planning to avoid fiscal surprises.

In addition, property planning documents and the real estate plan constitute the basis to protect and transfer assets effectively and according to the wishes of the owner.

Boschetti Studio Legale has in its team lawyers experienced in the drafting and management of such documents, a competence crucial to ensure compliance with local regulations and to protect the inheritance from unforeseen legal or fiscal risks.
